plugins VS balanceofsatoshis

And c-lightining's feeadjuster plugin https://github.com/lightningd/plugins/tree/master/feeadjuster 🤗

Here is a C-Lightning plugin that accomplishes much the same objective.

There seems to be a plugin for rebalancing https://github.com/lightningd/plugins

Sure, I'll make a PR, but they're not very responsive to my PRs. So if I do make it you should expect it to appear in my lightning-tools repo's plugins dir.

Absolutely. If you look at the rebalance plugin (https://github.com/lightningd/plugins/blob/master/rebalance/rebalance.py) you'll notice most of the code tries to do some best effort guesses as to how to best balance channels. The actual code to compute the route is relatively simple:

C-lightning has a plugin that'll adjust the fees on channels based on the balances in the channel, i.e., higher fees if an htlc would drain funds from an already low channel and lower fees to encourage rebalancing channels with high outgoing capacity: https://github.com/lightningd/plugins/tree/master/feeadjuster

Additionally I use rebalance-lnd to rebalance channels manually. BOS can also rebalance as well as perfectly balanced.

Balance of Satoshis (bos) v12.35.2 (Released: 26th September 2022) - https://github.com/alexbosworth/balanceofsatoshis/tags

Are you using channel rebalancing tools at all? Like Balance of Satoshis, or rebalance-lnd? I really like the latter.

There's also balanceofsatoshis but I was unable to get it working 😥
